"Mighty Mo," who was named to the First Team All-East squad in 1951 by Collier's Magazine and by the American Football Coaches Association, captained the 1951 Rutgers team and was the squad's leading rusher in 1950 and 1951. His 81-yard run against Temple in 1951 remains the longest run from scrimmage in Rutgers football history. The West Haven, Conn., native earned three letters in baseball and helped Rutgers post a 17-5 record in 1950, when the diamond squad won the District 2 title and finished as co-runner-up in the NCAA Tournament.
